A French brand created by friends, LES (ART)ISTS made its first splash with a range of tees that were equal parts high-fashion parody and homage to one’s favorite designers. Now, the label returns bigger and bolder than ever with a new collection of graphic-driven woven shirts for Spring/Summer 2014. In either red plaid flannel or baseball-style oxford options, the designs feature the names and years of birth of designers or artists on the back of each garment, resulting in playful homages to some of the biggest names in the business.

Erica’s Response: eleeneal@lerockbox Super late; but I’m going to throw this in anyway. Regarding women and status: We have been told that men are *things* to catch, keep and train. This turns attaining and maintaining a relationship into a high-stakes sport. When people (men & women) treat each other like a person to meet, discover and grow with… Competition (pressure), status and all the crap goes out the window. What’s left is room for healthy/positive relationships to take root. #twocents #twosense
